While quoting the digital rights activist and lawyer, Nighat Dad, who called out Indian advocate Prashant Patel on his absurd claims and who started the whole ‘Karachi civil war’ falsehood with “10 Police officers of Sindh Police [were] martyred during their line of duty of saving people of Karachi” and that the “US Navy many enter in Karachi port soon”.
However, Ali Haider Zaidi, the Maritime Affairs Minister held Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) responsible and said “the Indian media propaganda is at its peak and this is only due to PDM event”.

Yesterday, the Indian media started campaigning against Pakistan’s biggest port city and falsely created an entire flimsy civil war which had everything a good action must contain like guns and bombing involvement among forces in a made-up area in Karachi named as “Gulshan-e-Bagh”.
The media group who participated in this propaganda included India Today, Zee News English, CNN News18, and India.com. All of the media groups have verified Twitter accounts claimed that armed clashes had started in Karachi.
